Do you know what comic is the one in question and are you aware of a link (or post a scan of the page) to the page in question?

I’ve been reading about this case for a long time now, but don’t remember seeing the page. As much as I want to defend meritless suits, I need the original information to determine if the case is meritless.

My biggest gripe is that the retailer is the one ultimately responsible, but the publisher does a poor job of marking their comics as to the content. Even a comic with “mature readers” isn’t adequate. I’m more in favor of a TV rating system where ‘L’ means there is language, ‘N’ means nudity, etc. Marvel has some system which I as a retailer don’t know and isn’t obvious. I’ve asked several people about Marvels system and have yet to have anyone know what PSR means. With each publisher responsible for their own system there are no standards.

There should be some standard which all publishers use which will help the retailer determine with a glance whether they can sell an item to a specific customer and it will inform the customer what they can expect before they read the item. Retailers (and their employees) should not be made responsible for knowing the content for every issue of every comic prior to selling them, any more than a book retailer should be responsible to read every book on their shelves.
